Shayetet 13 Navy SEALs conduct counterterror raids near Hebron, West Bank overnight
The details of the operation were not made public, but the IDF noted that there had been increased terror activity stemming from the area of operation.
U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen, Tim Kaine, and Bernie Sanders introduced a resolution on Monday, mandating the State Department to report on the escalating violence in the West Bank. The resolution aims to shed light on the killings of nine American citizens since 2022, perpetrated by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Border Police, or Israeli civilians. Additionally, it seeks an assessment of the human rights situation of Palestinians in the West Bank, including the detention of Palestinian children.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will have ten days to review the resolution. If passed, the Trump Administration will be required to submit the report within 30 days or face the withholding of significant military aid to Israel. Sanders emphasized that Palestinians in the West Bank face daily violence from Israeli settlers and security forces, and Israel has long provided impunity instead of accountability.
Van Hollen pointed out that the U.S. cannot continue to fund this violence while turning a blind eye, demanding an end to complicity. Kaine highlighted the alarming rise in violence by Israeli settlers, resulting in numerous American and Palestinian casualties. All three senators condemned the Israeli government's lack of response to this violence, deeming it unacceptable and threatening the region's long-term safety and security.
